    I addressed this in a personal email to Bjorn.  Had I known that he
was going to post something similar to the list, I would have replied
here.  This is the message I sent to him just a few minutes ago (before
I read the mssage on the list):

    Nothing is actually wrong.  YahooGroups is doing what it is
supposed to do.  In all my emails, I have a header "X-No-Archive: Yes"
set.  Many services will respect this and will distribute my messages
to mailing lists by email but will not archive them.  In particular,
YahooGroups will not save them so that they can be read through the web
interface.  If you look at all the headers of messages from me -- most
email clients allow some way of looking at all the headers -- you will
see a header something like "Restrict: no-external-archive" on all the
emails that come from me.  Using this special header is a personal
decision I made quite some time ago.  However, that was before so many
people started reading email from mailing lists with web browsers.  I
may have to decide whether I want to continue doing so.
<<<<<

    Because this matter has arisen with other mailing lists, and
because it has now become somewhat common for some people to read email
via a web browser interface, I have removed the particular header form
my messages.

    Thank you.
